5th Annual Concert Series Presents

Karl Roth in Concert

Friday, September 2nd, 2011 - the Fifth Annual Summer Concert Series will be presented at Rock Island Resort. 

This year we are proud to have Karl Roth of Calgary, returning.  At his last concert the audience walked away stunned and amazed.  This year he brings a slightly different mix of musicians.  Award winning guitarist Dave Hamilton is returning and will be joined by bass player Skip Cutz from Saskatoon.

Biography

 

Karl Roth – The Rock Island Gazebo will be swingin'! With the growling vocals of the big bear on violin, and the virtuosic guitar of Dave Hamilton and Skip Cutz on bass.  With three recordings under his belt including his debut Everybody Wants to Be A Cat (1997) featuring its standout title track; the 1998 best-seller Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas; and Almost Behavin' (2001), an elegant selection of swing jazz jewels and will be followed up by Karl’s fourth CD. Hear a preview at this show.

Karl’s charismatic performances feature his dark, rich voice, distinctive improvised violin style, and a tight swingin’ sound that has been described as a “blend between Leon Redbone and Stephane Grapelli with a hint of Barry White”. Blending a mixture of R&b, blues and jazz favourites with several ‘oddball’ treasures, the result has captured the hearts of audiences at major festivals across Canada. www.karlroth.ca
